Mineral information:
What's the mineral connection here, you say? Aren't fossils a different
category? Well, yes they are. However, these ferns are preserved in a
mineral called Pyrophillite (a pseudomorph of
Pyrite), which also gives them the
silvery-white color. I believe (based on some research) that some of the
ferns present on this specimen are Alethopteris sp., Pecopteris
hemiteliodes, Neuropteris, Sphenophyllum... but don't take my word for
it. I'm no botanist, and you may just enjoy the discovery quest!
